Padres' Drew Pomeranz: Throws seven scoreless frames versus Reds

Pomeranz (7-7) threw seven scoreless innings and allowed just three hits and one walk in a 3-0 victory over the Reds on Saturday. He struck out six.

Analysis:

The left-hander has certainly had more dominating strikeout performances, but owners couldn't have asked for a better bounce back after he allowed five runs and five walks on June 14 and then three homers in his last start on June 19. For good measure, Pomeranz also went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. He may only have a .500 record, but he has a .190 batting average against, 2.76 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 102 strikeouts in 88 innings. His next start will be Saturday against the Yankees.
